Today, Ethereum core developers gathered for their 96th fortnightly Consensus Layer (CL) call. This was the last call developers agreed to have post-Merge before going on an extended break. Short thread on what was discussed 🧵
Communities are broken in #Web3, but that's because most of them aren't really #communities at all.
Read on for some observations and data to back this up🧵👇🏾
Internet users consume way more video than text, yet the web's core infrastructure is still built around text.
What does the web of video look like? At a minimum, we need better search engines.
This is one of the most interesting domains to apply AI breakthroughs today.
I'm excited to share our new zero knowledge cryptography canon.
Part 1: links for beginners, deep cuts on the history of zero knowledge, and cutting-edge developments and tools.

after analyzing 60+ games and services, we found 200 000 bots. on average, every web3 game has 40% bots.

You've been speaking English your entire life
but did you know that the words you speak are all created from 26 individual letters?
Here are the 26 letters that you MUST know:
IT HAS ARRIVED! “An Honest Report on Web3 Data & Storage,” the first-of-its-kind, 34-slide primary research report to systematically, objectively, and exhaustively assess the decentralized storage space by interviewing 30+ leading experts over 50+ sessions https://t.co/kKv9pU3NKi
IMO RAI has already accomplished about 25% of its mission
exhibit A: RAI ran the controlled floating peg experiment in prod, now it is glorified R&D for @MakerDAO and @RuneKek is using RAI as a potential path forward for DAI
you're welcome 🤗

This is extremely interesting. Probability of proposing 2 blocks in a row (n) if someone owns 30% of the validators post Merge (p) is almost 90%.
Multiblock attacks on twaps seem quite likely.

Totally! Also people totally underrate how censorship resistance means much more than global regulatory arbitrage. Particularly, in smart contract platforms, censorship resistance implies a truly open-API system.
You can be bullish on a project and still sell your bags.
If you’re able to recognize signs of euphoria , don’t be afraid to take profits and buy back in later
If censorship stops occurring simply because @Coinbase “chooses” to exit their stake, then Ethereum’s censorship resistance is not credible, it's merely something that exists as long as regulated corporate entities *allow* it to exist, which isn't what censorship resistance means
Most web3 gaming theses I read nowadays are unfathomably bullish. When I keep reading, I'm always disappointed. Severe overestimations, clear lack of gaming experience, and a myriad of buzzwords and fluff.
When I discovered @aradtski's article—I was thrilled.
But there's a but.
